Stalin. M, Indhira Gandhi. S
Abstract :
Village level planning needs lot of factual data for implementing Rural Development Programmes. A database system is devised which lends itself to GIS with village as basic unit. In this GIS, spatial database is created for the administrative divisions of the villages, residential areas, road networks and water features etc. Attribute databases are created for each of the facilities in ArcGIS. Programs are developed in Oracle for handling each of the databases and answer to the relevant queries. Certain queries made through the systems and the corresponding answers just demonstrate the scope of GIS. A composite Rural Development Index (RDI) is formulated after assigning proper weightages to the various indices of the facilities. Through RDI, the villages are categorised based on degree of development. A planning module is developed which can list the villages in the order of priority for plan implementation. Out of villages in Kothur Mandal, Kothur village is found to be model village and there are 88% of moderately developed and 6% of undeveloped villages.
